Change i don't want: THE NATIONAL FLAG

Change i don't want: THE NATIONAL FLAG

✪ No comment yet

Every time I start to write something for my blog I always find myself in dilemma strangled with many questions and unsolved mysteries. And yet again this was the same. The hot news this weekend about changing nepali national flag made me grieve seeing the intellectual status (I couldn’t decide a word to explain their pathetic thinking so I just mentioned it as intellectual status though it is a sarcastic) of the so called revolutionary and reformist. This news has not only hit the nepali media but also other international media like hindustan times(see the news in Hindustan Times ). Statue were broken in the name of change, colleges, parks, buildings and monuments were renamed in the name of change and this time someone is trying to change the national flag again in the name of change.

It doesn’t count whether some ruler during some regimes in history were a Suryavamsi or others were Chandravamsi. What counts now is our faith, our belief and our interpretation of the facts. And the fact for me is that this national flag is our history, our identity, our spirit and symbol of our national unity. It has been so since ages and it will be the same for the time to come. So far I know thousands of our fellow Nepali citizens also think the same. The prime reasons they have stated is that this flag signifies feudalism. I’m so confused coz I haven’t yet found any relation between so called feudalism and bitriangular national flag with sun and moon engraved on it. I just want to know from when did the sun and the moon started to signify feudalism, from when did the red color that have been the symbol of pride and sacrifice (not for normal citizen but for so called reformist and the communist also) have become the symbol of slavery and from when did the blue color also known as the color of peace and harmony started to provoke Hinduism and Buddhism only? Also people say flag is not inclusive. Why not try this, let’s cut a piece of a flag and distribute among the leaders of various parties, religion and ethnic groups. What more are doing in the name of inclusion and participation more than just dividing what we have.

Finally I have a question to ask for those who felt the urgency of changing the flag despite having thousands of problems still to be solved. Are we trying to destroy all we have in the name of change? But comrade, be careful this is not what corers of Nepali expected from you. What we were expecting was to destroy feudalism, international intervention, inequality and poverty in the shadow of your prominent leadership. Or are you just trying to hide your incapability by blaming some abstract and irrelevant thing like “THE NATIONAL FLAG”.

Exam shock and post exam syndrome

Exam shock and post exam syndrome

I think most people have experienced post exam syndrome. I am not sure how to express this but I’m pretty much sure that by one or the other way it is same with many of us. Long and tiring days of exam with no time to think about a piece out of books, deeply involved with studies and giving damm about the world this is exams for me. Once it is over then I felt like “Where am I?” as if I’m back from comma. I felt like I’m in completely different world with so much to enjoy, so much to experience. And this exam sucks coz it didn’t let us to even smell the flavor of this beautiful world.

People say I hate exam and I too would like to say it sometime. It won’t surprise me as well but what surprise me is that almost all of us have done with dozens of exam in our life and every time we say we hate exams, we hate books and when it is over we again say wahhh the world is beautiful…oh god! Finally its over……shit man it is the same again…and many other desperate words that best describes our post exam emotion. The shock repeats every year, every semester, every trimester and sometime every month in the name of board exams, internal assessments, unit tests and surprise assessments as well. And for this I always compare exam with earthquake that ruins everything, shatter every beautiful piece out of this world. What you people thinks? Isn’t exam an earthquake of your foxy life? Like earthquake exam is also inevitable, we can’t stop it but what we can do is keep ourselves safe from this mishap. For this let’s do something. Why don’t we try to implement COD theory? By the way COD means “cooperate to dominate” i.e. let’s come together to dominate the bourgeois belief of exam.

Most of we think that we are the only one who is suffering from phobia and post phobia shock but smile guys because there is not a single person in this world who hasn’t gone through this unless he/she is Robinson Crusoe or Mr. Adam. But what I fear most is the post exam syndrome. I think the joy is uncontrollable and choices are unlimited so is there anyone who can pick a piece from a pool? I hope this happiness remain forever. But, what by the end of the semester? Ahhhh it will be back again.
